title: Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
# Install [[Node.js]]
#* either from your favourite package manager: typically `apt-get install nodejs` on Debian/Ubuntu Linux or Termux for Android, or `brew install node` on a Mac
#* or directly from http://nodejs.org
# Open a command line terminal and type:
#> `npm install -g tiddlywiki`
#> If it fails with an error you may need to re-run the command as an administrator:
#> `sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki` (Mac/Linux)
# Check TiddlyWiki is installed by typing:
#> `tiddlywiki --version`
# In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "<<version>>"; you may also see other debugging information reported)
# Try it out:
## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server` to create a folder for a new wiki that includes server-related components
## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --server` to start TiddlyWiki
## Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser
## Try editing and creating tiddlers
# Optionally, make an offline copy:
#* click the {{$:/core/images/save-button}} ''Save changes'' button in the sidebar, ''OR''
#* `tiddlywiki --build index`
The `-g` flag causes TiddlyWiki to be installed globally. Without it, TiddlyWiki will only be available in the directory where you installed it.
If you are using Debian or Debian-based Linux and you are receiving a `node: command not found` error though node.js package is installed, you may need to create a symbolic link between `nodejs` and `node`. Consult your distro's manual and `whereis` to correctly create a link. See github [[issue 1434|http://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1434]]
Example Debian v8.0: `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node`
